Blake Lively reportedly expected Taylor Swift to wish her a happy birthday. According to an insider, the singer has distanced herself from the “Gossip Girl” alum. Although she has allegedly been ignoring Lively for a while, the actress still seemed to hope for a birthday wish. For those unversed, Lively turned 39 on August 25. Her husband, Ryan Reynolds, shared a carousel of photos on Instagram with a sweet caption.
Taylor Swift reportedly gave Blake Lively no birthday contact as their friendship remained broken
Taylor Swift reportedly didn’t wish Blake Lively on her birthday amid reports of their broken friendship. A source told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice that the “Life of a Showgirl” hitmaker’s silence delivered the message. The birthday girl allegedly accepted that Swift, who was once her best friend, has moved on.
“Blake was absolutely hoping Taylor would reach out. A text. Flowers. Even two words: ‘Happy birthday.’ Nothing came. That silence said everything,” the insider said.
For those unversed, Lively and Swift were once the closest pals. The latter was the godmother of the actress and Ryan Reynolds’ kids. She even used one of the celebrity couple’s daughters’ names in her song, “betty.” But their dynamic changed after Swift’s name was dragged into Lively and Justin Baldoni’s infamous case. Although the two parties settled the battle, Lively reportedly lost a close friend.
However, the diva allegedly hoped that things would be back to normal. She “kept telling herself there was a path back,” the source claimed. “She thought time would cool everything down and Taylor would eventually remember how much they loved each other. The birthday changed that.”
But the pop star has reportedly “moved on.” Meanwhile, Lively seemed to have accepted that she won’t be able to bring the Grammy winner back into her life. Moreover, it was earlier reported that Swift had not invited Lively and Reynolds to her wedding. She tied the knot with Travis Kelce in July at NYC’s Madison Square Garden.
